Description
Dashboard Revamp
1. Implement new drag and drop interface for dashlets.
- each dashlet is loaded independently
- provide two column screen layout
- add minimize, remove and fullscreen ( only for tabular view) for each widgets
2. Ability to add report instances as Dashlet
- once a report is added to dashboard, make it available as dashlet
3. User specific dashboard.
- Each user can have their own dashlets which are defined by admin
4. We should cache dashlet content so that complex queries for report generation are not fired.
- Add manual Refresh button on dashboard
- Add cache timeout settings in Global Settings >> Misc. Settings
5. Convert existing activity selector to Activity Dashlet.
6. Make sure Dashboard hooks still work.
7. Document / provide instructions how to write own widgets ( for developers )

Can you check in localized version (and give it another set of eyes in any case).
Does not seem to be localisable at all. After switching my language to हिन्दी quite a lot of CiviCRM seems to be translated (congrats to the Mumbai team!), but the whole dashboard is in English. 
Closing this issue after chat with Piotr. Separate issue has been filed for localization: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5677
Overall, looking good. Tested on both FF and Safari. Two issues definitely need fixing:
1. Not respecting permissions specified in Report Settings. Example: Donation Summary has "addToDashboard" checked, AND requires 'access CiviContribute permission. Login w/ user whose role does NOT include that permission. The dashlet still shows in Available Dashlets box, but it shouldn't.
2. I couldn't figure out how to remove a report from 'Available Dashlets'.
Admins do need a way to remove report instances from 'Available' state.
